Summary

Magnolia is an elementary school serving grades PK-8 in the Magnolia School District in New Jersey. The school has 399 students and is rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, consistently ranking in the bottom half of New Jersey elementary schools over the past several years.

Magnolia's academic performance, as measured by NJSLA test scores, is generally below the state average across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 48.8% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 44.9%. In mathematics, the proficiency rates were even lower, with only 36.6% of 3rd graders and 13.3% of 8th graders meeting or exceeding the standards. The school also has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 11.1% to 16.6% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average.

When compared to nearby schools, Magnolia generally performs worse academically. For instance, Avon Elementary School, located just 1.63 miles away, outperforms Magnolia in both English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency rates. Similarly, Osage School, 1.64 miles away, has significantly higher test scores and a higher school ranking. These disparities suggest that Magnolia's challenges may be influenced by a combination of factors, including the school's socioeconomic demographics, resource allocation, and teaching quality.
